Vegan Scrambled Eggs with Spices on Toasted Focaccia with Roasted Tomatoes

Ingredients:

For the Vegan Scrambled Eggs:

• 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu (drained and pressed)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
• 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt (or to taste)
• 1/4 tsp powdered garlic
• 1/4 tsp powdered onion
• 1/2 tsp dried dill weed
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper (optional)
• 1-2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• 2 slices vegan American cheese (or more, to taste)

For the Toasted Focaccia with Roasted Tomatoes:

• 2 slices focaccia bread
• 1-2 medium tomatoes, sliced
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for roasting tomatoes)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Additional olive oil (for toasting the focaccia)

Instructions:

1. Roast the Tomatoes:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Slice the tomatoes into rounds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
   • Drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
   • Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized. Set aside.

2. Toast the Focaccia:

   • While the tomatoes are roasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
   • Drizzle a little olive oil onto the focaccia slices and toast them in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.

3. Make the Vegan Scrambled Eggs:

   • Crumble the pressed tofu into a large bowl, breaking it into small chunks to resemble scrambled eggs.
   • In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.
   • Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet, and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure it cooks evenly.
   • Sprinkle in the Himalayan salt, powdered garlic, powdered onion, and dill weed. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tofu is heated through and slightly golden.
   • Tear the vegan American cheese slices into small pieces and add them to the tofu mixture. Stir well until the cheese melts into the tofu, creating a creamy texture.

4. Assemble the Dish:

   • Place the crispy toasted focaccia slices on plates.
   • Top each slice with the scrambled tofu mixture.
   • Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.
   • Add the roasted tomato slices on top or on the side of the dish.
